Corvette ZR-1 unveiled

so, this is the ?ber Corvette that saves chevy fanbois from the Godzilla? I wonder how harsh ride this one will have, even the Z06 owners admit that the ride was harsh before they got used to it..:p

Begun, The Flamewars has.

That's the best exterior shot, it looks kind of ugly in every other picture. The numbers more than make up for it though.

And is this a symbol of something? Or just some cool looking skull with the Corvette emblem?

I noticed that as well, I think that's the Bad Boy Vettes logo. Wait till tubby comes around, he'll know for sure.

It's the Corvette Racing logo, and it's one of the few car-related tattoo designs that won't make you look like a douche. :p

I don't know what it is exactly but it looks "old", not that that is a bad thing but it doesn't look modern for some reason, even compared to the normal C6 and the Z06.
The perspex power bulge is disgusting but mechanically it sounds good.

Yeah, Corvette's looks haven't evolved much since 80's. Now it's most modern design are the headlights which look something from the mid 90's.

Good car, but for me: do not want.
 
Sure, it's got a lot to shout about, but still.. looks to try hard-ish.

I'd take any italian supercar over it, still. Got something to do with style and culture, in a few hundred years you'll know by yourself, you'll see. ;-)
 
OH GOD YES!

Do the words "evolutionary design" mean nothing to you? But, hey, it's OK for Porsche to do it with the 911, because they're not GM, right?
 
are you trying to imply that porsche has actually developed 911 during the years?:lmao: blasphemy!
 
No, same thing with Porsche. I prefer Boxster to 911, design wise. 911 looks boring.

I'll start saving now and by then my ancestors will have scraped together enough to down pay on a 2786 Corvette Z98 or something. Wouldn't that be funny, 700 years and still using pushrods :lol:.
 
Not yet, yank, not yet. ;)

I'm not American.

Also, I now want one of each Corvette.

The base model for everyday use.
The Z06 for track days.
This for when I'm feeling the need. The need for speed.

I just now saw this and all I can say is wow! This car is going to be epic. Now I can't wait to see and hear it in action.

This might just replace the GT as my new favorite supercar and that's saying something.

GM hasn't announced power numbers, they've only said it will be AT LEAST 100hp/litre.

I'm game :p GM said they put quite a bit more effort into making the ride on this better than the z06 as well as generally being a much easier car to drive on a regular basis. In fact it's got softer springs and significantly re-tuned dampers (same as those on the 599) than the z06.

Pfft, only 620 HP? Isn't the Viper up to 650 now NA? :p

But fanboyism aside, I still prefer the Viper. Then again, these cars are diverging.

The Viper is becoming more of a classic muscle car (huge fucking N/A engine), a cruiser, etc.

The Corvette is becoming more of a sports car, like a Porsche. Bigger brakes, handling, etc. than previously.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great car, but I think the thing is damn ugly. :?
